    The film The Book of Eli directed by the Hughes brothers is a cinematic display of dystopian genius. Many dystopian films critique government involvement, privacy issues, and ethical concerns. However in The Book of Eli, the Hughes brothers take a jump to a different part of modern society: religion. Numerous religions are practiced in society as they are protected under the first amendment. The written word can be interpreted many different ways whether it is for good or evil and this film does a great job outlining the interpretations. The Book of Eli is a dystopian symbol for how organized religion is abused in modern society.…

    Of course this is something that should be expected from a story that involves religion, but the manner in which it’s placed is what makes it unique. An example of symbolism being portrayed in the story, is the relationship between Jesuit Rodrigues and Kichijiro, which is viewed as the relationship Jesus had with Judas, Kichijiro was someone who once pertained to the Christian faith but he decided to commit apostasy in order to save his life and out of his whole family he was the only one to do so, throughout the story he’s always filled with guilt always asking for forgiveness from Jesuit Rodrigues, but in the end he ends up betraying Jesuit Rodrigues to save his own life, just as he did with the Christian religion.

By the end of the story, where Rodrigues must decide wether to apostatize or not, he hears Jesus telling him that they are the same, they both suffered for everyone else in order for them to live at…
